Video shows police shot Ohio man 8216 on sight 8217 as he leaned on toy gun in Walmart attorney says
He said the video suggests Crawford probably did not see or hear officers as they arrived.
Crawford was speaking by cell phone to his girlfriend, who was with his parents, when he was shot.
“He said he was at the video games playing videos, and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were,” said LeeCee Johnson, the mother of his two children. “The next thing I know, he said, ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting, and they said ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him.”
Johnson put the phone on speaker mode, and she and Crawford’s parents heard him die.
“I could hear him just crying and screaming,” Johnson said. “I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”

So the police chief releases the 911 call where someone said they saw a guy in the store with a gun. So the police rush there and kill him. The guy is holding a toy in the toy department, picking out something for his kid while talking to his kid's mom.
But the police won't release the video showing the entire incident because they don't want to "create bias". But they release the 911 call, which, get this, creates bias favorable for the police.
Clearly, the guy was wearing a "hoodie".
